Wagner's exclusive optimus dual tip provides a professional fan shaped spray pattern. The ez tilt? multi-directional paint suction tube lets you spray up down or side... <more>

used it once a year ago and it worked fine. tried to use it today and could not get the paint to spray. followed all the instructions, oiled etc. was cleaned thoroughly last time and cleaned again before use this time. even tried the tube option but could not get paint to come up the tube -- yes, the paint was thinned and can at same level. tried for over two hours. nothing worked. really really annoying payed good money for this and don't have the time or money to replace.

Power unit way too heavy especially if you have a full cup of paint. Also you can't find extra atomizers anywhere except online. I'll buy something else next time. Why buy this if you can't get parts locally? Would not recommend to anybody!

I understand that any product can go bad.... I am not an expert but I do follow instructions as needed. Purchased this unit 2 years ago to spray my fence with redwood stain. It really worked well, cleaned it up and put it away. Today I started to paint the house. First area all masked off. Paint thinned and strained according to paint manufactures directions. Got a width area of abut 4 feet and the piston froze up. (yes it was oiled), Tried all the suggest in the Wagner Manual and then some. Unit went in the trash............ broke out the compressor with another sprayer to finish........what a disappointment, doubt if I will ever buy another simply because I cannot trust the sprayer to perform.

I'm sure the hose is a pain and would clog so I never bother with it. The tilt feature is a must. I spray latex without a problem. When I clean the parts I am thorough and careful. I have discovered a great trick for frequent intermittent use of the same paint. You can store it full of paint for a week or more without emptying or cleaning. Just press a plastic baggie close onto the sprayer tip an hold as you give a short shot of paint, leave the baggie pressed on the tip to stay wet.

the roller feature is terrific. Pad for cutting in was okay but when I tried to clean it., the pad fell apart.but the pad is not a material feature to me anyways. But to roll a room it is very fast and efficient.

When the product is new, it works great. BUT, over time it becomes more and more difficult to clean hoses and other attachments sufficiently to get the same mechanical results you have when it's new. And the thicker the paint, the worse of a product it is. Great idea, poor execution.

Having used a Wagner in the past I was comfortable for my project (painting a HOUSE, believe it or not). What impressed me most was the ability to tilt without losing spray. Wow, did THAT save time. It doesn't completely solve the problem as when the paint supply jar ran low almost any tilt would result in sucking up air -- so I wished the supply jar was bigger. The quart size supply meant I had to unscrew and reload almost 40 times during my project. I thought I had bought the sprayer that came with an optional over-the-shoulder supply reservoir, but I guess not ... so I had an issue with the description on the box. But my project was over the top. If you are doing a room or inside project, you will be golden.
